Abeg gurus, pls how can one use AIO flasher to restore the system of a n3 or other phones. I ask because, after dumping my rom the system partition was dump as system.tar, unlike the boot and recovery partition. So, even when the system is make in the flasher, the file extension for the system flasher is also .img extension.

So, how do i do it

I have Brainrex Romdump for long which I don't know know how to use for now and I know I can take care of the that if there is any other problem. Pls what is size after extracting this is the thing that can solve my not properly rooted problem for now
.

Known bug: memory low issue...
only for apps that need to install in phone memory, regardless you can still install your large Game files hitch free.

That being said....
lets understand that...
The critical advantage of this ROM is the shell root...which allows for full modding (i.e. modification) of the system files of your device!! albeit,at your own risk ; however; your life belt being your nandroid backup (see why this is so important)
hitherto...we couldnt successfully apply shell scripts(bits of android programing code), terminal command line mods and so on without getting a "silly-flag" here and a "permission-denied" there, for the newbies (average user) this isnt relevant , but on the other hand for Developers (Android Hackers) , this is a pain in headache.

so should I say, "out with the old and in with the new" ,

*Oh, lest I forget a new hacks available for your N3, (All Thanks to xda-developers and Messers Aryo Hetfield)
Running Mordern combat 4, PES 2012 and browsing, on N3...at the same time !

requirements:
1. GB RPM or other shell rooted CR (custom rom)installed android device
2. Root Explorer
3. Android terminal emulator
4. unit-init.d download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
5. term-init.sh script download here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426791
4. three partition SD card (fat32, ext2, and Linuxswap pref: 512mb+) *very important dont try without it you can brick your phone!
5. A little understanding of android scripting or want to try and wont mind bricking your phone

a. for GB users only: open swapper2 and turn of swap.
b. also for GB users: use link2sd to uninstall swapper2,
c. use link2sd or titanium backup to uninstall swapper, or any other swapping/memory boosting app you have installed
d. open "android terminal emulator" and enter the following code: (after entering each line of code press enter)


prelude:

install uni-init.d enabler

copy term-init.sh to sdcard root

run uni-init.d enabler

click verify init.d support, you should get a result saying you dont have init.d support

open android terminal emulator and enter the following script: (remember to press enter after each line and NOTE CAPITAL and small letters matter alot in Android scripting)
type: su
type: sh /sdcard/term-init.sh
#let the android run script

when done:
open terminal emulator and type :: reboot
you android should restart:

open terminal emulator and type :: reboot (again)
you android should restart:

open unit-init.d enabler and click verify: if all was done properly you should get a "success! you have init.d support"

now, to enble linux swap partition

open
1. type: su

2. type: fdisk -l dev/block/mmcblk0

3. type: swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

3. then type: echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

B. open root explorer

click the "mount r/w" at the top right side of the screen

goto system/etc/init.d

create two files named "androidswap", and "fstab" (click: options, more, new file)

1. click on "androidswap", click text editor:
enter the following script:

#!/system/bin/sh
swapon dev/block/mmcblk0p3
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

save changes

2. click on "fstab", click text editor:
enter the following script:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 swap swap

save changes

lastly,


long click (hold down) androidswap, a menu will open

Abeg mods pls help us release Xanders seems like d guy has been ban. we really need him

yehmy: Abeg mods pls help us release Xanders seems like d guy has been ban. we really need him

Yeah, thought as much. The hidden post belongs to him.

xanders says me to tell all TECNO N3 fans that hes having a word with the nairaland police (not bread and pure water o)to soft pedal on their rules to ensure the longevity of their forum

Here is the link to new realease of gingerbead...(increased buffer to run large games)

heres the link:

Requirements:

already installed GB or rooted android

three partitioned SD card (fat32, ext2, and linuxswap @least 512MB+)

AIO flasher

and, a good head

procedure:
nandroid backup former OS
copy link and paste in browser window.
download 7zip file
extract using 7zip
flash system.yaffs2.img using AIO

lastly, don't forget to
and clean up mess by wipping user cache and data when done!

special thanks to : xda-developers (for AIO flasher) and messer Aryo Hetfield (for sh scripts used)

hopefully, xanders knows what hes doing and wont get his ROM burnt...

NB: KNOWN BUG(s)
internal MEMORY FULL: As a result of the 3rd party launcher used which constantly demands updates, the internal memory of the device tends to fill up momentarily . Not to worry though, only affects apps that demand to install in phone memory, else you can still install all your games etc that can install on SD; Nonetheless, we are researching for a fix to that...user feedback and ideas are always welcome

aha...you have three partitions on your sdcard or create these three using "mini partition tool" and "USB card reader":
FAT32: where u store your music n stuff
EXT2:app store for link2sd
LINUXSWAP: with the right script can be used as "Memory Buffer" for the Android device

what is file password

password:11111111

password:11111111

snapshot of what you should have on your sdcard

elegale:


if your fone is rooted, you can actually change d jingles. replaced the start-up tone with the shutdown tone, so that i'm using d shutdown tone for both start-up and shutdown. if u have shorter mp3 files, u can use them...just make sure that they av the same name as the files u intend to replace, else #superBrick.

Link2sd: happened to me too, but solved it. go to link2sd settings and "recreate mount scripts". that should work. oh, reboot your fone before and after recreating d scripts.

D gingerbean ROM comes pre-rooted...unfortunately, u cant do anything rootwise wiv it...not until u update superuser and link2sd...plus reboot ur fone.

naijathings:

what do u really mean by that? if i want to use nairaland.mp3 as my start up tone, then I have to rename it to the already existing sound and I save it in my phone... and what next

If u wanna use nairaland.mp3 as your startup tone, u rename nairaland.mp3 to startup.mp3 (or whatever d startup tone is called), den replace said startup tone with d nairaland.mp3 dat u just renamed.
Ahem.....dazzol.

lacosteIII:

are you trying to say that you now have clockworkmod on your tecno n3...how did you do it, pls tell me...tanx

Well, 1st of all, "go down low"
Aii, serzly, I cud say I av clockwork...(If I did d right thing tho) but still avnt been able to access it. I actually flashed my recovery wiv d cwm6 buh I can't boot into recovery. I dey find brainrex, make im come hot seat, do Mr. Lecturer for us.

Abeg ooooo....any fellow crackhead in d house...how do you convert a .zip file to a .img file for flashing wiv fastboot Tried flashing brainrex's romdump.zip...."no system.img found". Ok...tried flashing d individual system.tar file..."FAILED (Remote: flash write failure)".
Abeg...I need am badtly. Thanx.
Plus I need to get CWM recovery working on my fone. I swear, if I see my stock recovery screen again, I go do wetin I been do for 1947.



Oh yes...and any1 who did a nandroid backup of their stock rom, abeg, forward me d backup...or @least d system image of it.



Also, @Xanders, try port some ICS feel into custom roms...ICS is actually android's best OS, followed by Gingerbread, then Jellybean...so, some ICS on our devices would do us a world of good. Internal memory and RAM shudnt be an issue since we already knw our way around that. #justASuggestionSha.

Thanx a lot to all of y'all. *ahem* dazzol.

No frovlem k'woi.

Please how do i flash CWM Recovery

i don't understand all these...but i will soon understand...
